The Detroit Free Press' Dave Birkett said CB Nevin Lawson's physical style is a good fit with DC Teryl Austin.

Lawson had ups and down after taking over as a starter last season, but he is the clear favorite to open the year opposite Darius Slay after the Lions failed to address the corner position. Playing opposite a legitimate shut-down corner, Lawson will be targeted early and often. He's name to keep in mind for DFSers to pick on. Tue, Jul 12, 2016 10:49:00 AM

Despite the retirement of Rashean Mathis, the Lions did not add a starting-caliber corner in free agency or the draft. That leaves Lawson as the de facto option opposite Slay. Lawson struggled in nine starts last year, but he has a fourth-round pedigree and is reportedly well-liked within the organization. He should be given every chance to win the starting job.

According to the Detroit Free Press' Dave Birkett, "people in the (Lions') building" like third-year CB Nevin Lawson.

With Rashean Mathis retiring, the Lions are in the market for cornerback help behind rising star Darius Slay. Lawson was a fourth-round pick back in 2014 but missed his entire rookie year with a dislocated ankle and struggled badly at times last season across 574 snaps. Upgrading opposite Slay should be high on new GM Bob Quinn's offseason priority list. Wed, Feb 17, 2016 09:35:00 AM

Swanson played every snap against the Bucs, so his symptoms apparently showed up after the game. With the Lions playing on Saturday, it is unlikely he is able to get cleared in time, especially considering he missed the final five games of last year due to a concussion. Graham Glasgow will fill in if Swanson cannot play.

Lions RT Rick Wagner is out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 13 game versus the Ravens with an ankle injury.

This is a potentially big loss for the Lions as Wagner has had a postive season after signing a five-year contract this offseason, receiving the ninth-highest grade of all offensive tackles in the NFL on the season. Brian Mihalik has entered the game at RT for the Lions.
